Asia contains the bulk of the world's poor, as many as 500 million
people. A significant fraction of these poor are chronically poor,
which means that they and their families have been poor for years
and will remain in poverty unless governmental policies are adopted
which can lift them out of poverty.
This book focuses on rural poverty and those countries in Asia
with the largest number of chronically poor, including the two
emerging superpowers of China and India, other countries of South
Asia and the Mekong region as well as Indonesia and Philippines in
Southeast Asia. Systematic analysis of who is poor, where they
live, and why they are poor is carried out. Microeconomic, sector
and macroeconomic policies which have been adopted to address this
important social issue are also discussed. Through specific country
analysis, the book outlines additional concrete measures that can
be taken to reduce chronic poverty and improve the welfare of these
people.
This timely book reviews how South Asia is rising to the challenge
of globalization. In particular, how are South Asian countries
maximizing the benefits of globalization whilst minimizing its
costs? What lessons have these countries learned from the East
Asian financial crisis? What actions have they taken at the
national, regional, and global level? Some important topics covered
in this book include policy reforms and economic integration in
South Asia, comparisons between South Asia (mainly India) and
China, and economic linkages between South Asia and East Asia
including the possibility of an integrated Pan-Asia similar to the
European Union. Academics, researchers, students, policymakers and
observers of South Asian, and more broadly Asian, economic
development and integration will want to read this book.
This book examines the field of behavioral economics and provides
insights into the following questions:The book looks at decision
making and behavior from the point of view of (i) individual
behavior and choice; (ii) group and interactive choice; and (iii)
collective choices and decision making. In particular, it covers
the following aspects: instances when bounded rationality leads to
decisions inconsistent with standard economic assumptions; risk and
the processes by which investors and consumers make decisions;
altruistic and cooperative behavior as alternatives to competition;
game theory as a way to explore motives of cooperation versus
competition; the determinants of happiness and the relationship
between utility and well-being; the concept of social capital,
including motivations for charity and being a responsible citizen;
how trust and fairness relate to economic actions and the
motivation to cooperate rather than compete; behavior such as
crime, corruption and bribery from ethical, social and economic
viewpoints; and, finally, the decision making process of collective
choice and how societies develop rules for governing
themselves.This is the first book to bridge economics, psychology,
sociology and political sciences and explain the nuanced subtleties
of decision making.
